Das Ansaugsystem selbst weist einen Rohlufteinlass, eine mit dem Rohlufteinlass verbundene Rohluftleitung und einen sich an die Rohluftleitung anschließenden Wasserabscheider auf. In der Rohluftleitung wird ein Drall erzeugt, wodurch die angesaugte Luft in der Rohluftleitung rotiert. Die Rohluftleitung ist korrespondierend mit der Brennkraftmaschine verbunden. Der Wasserabscheider weist ein Innenrohr und ein Außenrohr auf, welche koaxial zueinander angeordnet sind. Durch den koaxialen Aufbau des Wasserabscheiders strömt die Ansaugluft ohne Umlenkung in die nachfolgenden Bauteile, wodurch keine nennenswerten Druckverluste verursacht werden.From the DE 100 29 498 is a separation system for the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine known. The separation system is used to separate water spray from air. The intake system itself has an unfiltered air intake, a raw air line connected to the unfiltered air intake and a water separator adjoining the untreated air line. In the raw air line, a swirl is generated, whereby the sucked air in the raw air line rotates. The raw air line is connected corresponding to the internal combustion engine. The water separator has an inner tube and an outer tube, which are arranged coaxially with each other.

Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Rohluftleitung mit einem Abscheidesystem zum Abscheiden von Flüssigkeit aus einem Luftstrom eines Ansaugsystems für eine Brennkraftmaschine eines Kraftfahrzeuges zu schaffen, welches einfach aufgebaut ist und eine hohe Abscheideleistung sicherstellt.The invention has for its object to provide a raw air line with a separation system for the separation of liquid from an air flow of an intake system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, which is simple and ensures a high separation efficiency.

Lösungsolution

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of independent claim 1.

Der wesentliche Vorteil des Abscheidesystems liegt darin, dass lediglich ein Auslass nach einer Krümmung einer Einlassleitung vorgesehen sein muss, welcher den Querschnitt der Leitung nicht oder nur unwesentlich verringert. Dieser Auslass ist derart zu gestalten, dass die abzuscheidende Flüssigkeit nicht von dem Luftstrom mitgerissen werden kann. Der Auslass kann als Vertiefung gestaltet sein, er ist dort anzuordnen, wo sich aufgrund der Krümmung und der Luftumkehr die Flüssigkeit aus dem Luftstrom aufgrund der Fliehkraftwirkung niederschlägt und entfernt werden kann. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht der Auslass aus einer Querschnittsvergrößerung der Leitung. In diese Leitung ragt ein Schälkragen hinein, welcher gemeinsam mit der Querschnittsvergrößerung eine Auslassrinne bildet. Der Schälkragen ist beispielsweise als Flügel ausgestaltet, welcher den Luftstrom ungehindert passieren lässt, allerdings dafür sorgt, dass abgeschiedene Flüssigkeit nicht mehr von dem Luftstrom mitgenommen werden kann.The essential advantage of the separation system is that only one outlet must be provided after a curvature of an inlet line, which does not or only slightly reduces the cross section of the line. This outlet is to be designed such that the liquid to be separated can not be entrained by the air flow. The outlet can be designed as a depression, it is to be arranged where, due to the curvature and the air reversal, the liquid from the air flow due to the centrifugal effect is reflected and can be removed. According to one embodiment of the invention, the outlet consists of a cross-sectional enlargement of the line. In this line, a peeling collar protrudes, which forms an outlet channel together with the cross-sectional enlargement. The peeling collar is configured, for example, as a wing, which allows the air flow to pass unhindered, but ensures that separated liquid can no longer be taken along by the air flow.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Schälkragen mit einer Umkehrfläche versehen. Der Auslass hat gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung eine Flüssigkeitsauffangzone, die ebenfalls dafür sorgt, dass die Flüssigkeit nicht mehr in den Luftstrom umgelenkt werden kann. Die Flüssigkeitsauffangzone ist mit einem Wasserablauf versehen.Conveniently, the peeling collar is provided with a reverse surface. The outlet has according to another embodiment, a liquid collecting zone, which also ensures that the liquid can not be deflected into the air flow. The liquid collecting zone is provided with a water drain.

Weiterbildungsgemäß ist der Flüssigkeitsauslass mit einem Auslassventil verschlossen. Dieses Ventil öffnet beispielsweise bei einem bestimmten geostatischen Druck.According to training, the liquid outlet is closed with an outlet valve. This valve opens, for example, at a certain geostatic pressure.

Das Abscheidesystem wird bei einem Ansaugsystem für eine Brennkraftmaschine eines Kraftfahrzeuges verwendet. Dort ist es in der Rohluftleitung angeordnet, und zwar unmittelbar nach dem Einlass für die Rohluft. Dieser Einlass ist als abgewinkelte Ansaugtulpe gestaltet.The separation system is used in an intake system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. There it is located in the raw air line, and directly after the inlet for the raw air. This inlet is designed as an angled intake bell.

Diese und weitere Merkmale von bevorzugten Weiterbildungen der Erfindung gehen außer aus den Ansprüchen auch aus der Beschreibung und der Zeichnung hervor, wobei die einzelnen Merkmale jeweils für sich allein oder zu mehreren in Form von Unterkombinationen bei der Ausführungsform der Erfindung und auf anderen Gebieten verwirklicht sein und vorteilhafte sowie für sich schutzfähige Ausführungen darstellen können, für die hier Schutz beansprucht wird.These and other features of preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the claims and from the description and the drawings, wherein the individual features are realized individually or in each case in the form of sub-combinations in the embodiment of the invention and in other fields and can represent advantageous and protectable versions for which protection is claimed here.

Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments

Figur 1 zeigt ein Abscheidesystem 10 in der Rohluftleitung 11 einer Brennkraftmaschine. Die der Brennkraftmaschine zuzuführende Luft strömt über eine Einlasstulpe 12 des Abscheidesystems 10 und die Rohluftleitung 11 zu einem hier nicht dargestellten Partikelfilter und von dort zu der ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Brennkraftmaschine. Die Einlasstulpe 12 ist, wie dargestellt, mit einer Krümmung versehen. Diese Krümmung beträgt näherungsweise 90 Grad. Die gemäß dem Pfeil 13 einströmende Luft erfährt durch diese Krümmung eine Richtungsumkehr, wobei in der Luft enthaltene Flüssigkeit gemäß den Pfeilen 14 a - e aufgrund der Fliehkräfte an die Wandung 15 geleitet wird. Dort wird sich die Flüssigkeit aufgrund des Mitnahmeeffektes durch die einströmende Luft in Richtung Abscheidesystem bewegen und im Abscheidesystem an der Wand 16 entlangströmen. Die Einlasstulpe 12 hat einen näherungsweise kreisförmigen Querschnitt, sie kann auch rechteckförmig gestaltet sein. Der Querschnitt der Einlasstulpe setzt sich im Querschnitt des Abscheidesystems 10 und der Rohluftleitung 11 fort. Das Abscheidesystem 10 besteht aus einem Gehäuse 17, welches einen Wasserablauf 18 aufweist. FIG. 1 shows a separation system 10 in the raw air duct 11 of an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine to be supplied air flows through an inlet tulip 12 of the separation system 10 and the raw air duct 11 to a particulate filter, not shown here and from there to the internal combustion engine, also not shown. The inlet tulip 12 is provided with a curvature, as shown. This curvature is approximately 90 degrees. The inflowing according to the arrow 13 air undergoes a reversal of direction by this curvature, wherein liquid contained in the air according to the arrows 14 a - e is passed to the wall 15 due to the centrifugal forces. There, the liquid will move due to the entrainment effect by the incoming air in the direction of the separation system and flow along the wall 16 in the separation system. The inlet tulip 12 has an approximately circular cross-section, it may also be designed rectangular. The cross section of the inlet tulip is in cross section the separation system 10 and the raw air duct 11 continues. The separation system 10 consists of a housing 17, which has a water outlet 18.

Innerhalb des Gehäuses befindet sich ein Schälkragen 19. Dieser Schälkragen 19 verringert den Durchtrittsquerschnitt für die durchströmende Luft nur geringfügig und läßt zwischen Wand 16 und der Vorderkante 20 einen Durchtrittsquerschnitt 21 offen. Dieser Querschnitt ist so hoch bemessen, dass selbst bei einem erhöhten Flüssigkeitsanfall diese Flüssigkeit aufgenommen werden kann. Nach diesem Durchtrittsquerschnitt ist eine Flüssigkeitsauffangzone 22 vorgesehen, diese Zone dient gleichzeitig zum Sammeln der Flüssigkeit und zum Zuführen derselben zu dem Wasserablauf 18. Der Schälkragen 19 weist eine Umschlagkante 23 auf, welche an ihrem Ende scharfwinklig zu der Schälkragenwand abgewinkelt ist. Durch diesen Aufbau wird ein Zurückfließen der abgetrennten Flüssigkeit in den Luftstrom verhindert. Die von der Flüssigkeit abgetrennte Rohluft verlässt das Abscheidesystem 10 gemäß dem Pfeil 24 und gelangt als nächstes zu einem Luftfilter.Within the housing is a peeling collar 19. This peeling collar 19 reduces the passage cross section for the air flowing through only slightly and leaves between wall 16 and the front edge 20 a passage cross-section 21 open. This cross-section is so high that even with an increased amount of liquid this liquid can be absorbed. After this passage cross-section, a liquid collecting zone 22 is provided, this zone serves simultaneously for collecting the liquid and for supplying the same to the water outlet 18. The peeling collar 19 has an envelope edge 23, which is angled at its end at right angles to the peeling collar wall. By this construction, a flow back of the separated liquid is prevented in the air flow. The raw air separated from the liquid leaves the separation system 10 according to the arrow 24 and next arrives at an air filter.

Figur 2 zeigt das Abscheidesystem 10, welches einen, im Wesentlichen rechteckförmigen Querschnitt aufweist. Die Rohluft tritt gemäß Pfeil 25 in das System ein. Der Schälkragen 19 trennt einen eventuell entstehenden Flüssigkeitsstom von der Rohluft. Aufgrund der Schwerkraft, strömt das sich hinter dem Schälkragen sammelnde Wasser, bzw. die Flüssigkeit nach unten in einen Wasseraustragsbereich 25. Dieser Wasseraustragsbereich ist mit einem Rohr 26 versehen, in welchem sich die Flüssigkeit ebenfalls sammelt. Ein Ventil 27 verschließt dieses Rohr 26 und öffnet, sofern die Wassersäule in dem Rohr 26 ein bestimmtes Maß übersteigt. Das Ventil kann ein Gummilippenventil sein, welches keinerlei Wartung bedarf. FIG. 2 shows the separation system 10, which has a substantially rectangular cross-section. The raw air enters the system according to arrow 25. The peeling collar 19 separates any liquid stream from the raw air. Due to gravity, the water collecting behind the peeling collar or the liquid flows downwards into a water discharge area 25. This water discharge area is provided with a tube 26 in which the liquid also collects. A valve 27 closes this tube 26 and opens, provided that the water column in the tube 26 exceeds a certain level. The valve may be a rubber lip valve, which requires no maintenance.
